Discover an easy solution designed to address the unique needs of oily and mixed skin types – the DIY Natural Serum for Oily Skin. Crafted with the enriching goodness of Aloe Vera and Tea Tree, this serum offers a potent blend to restore balance and radiance to your complexion.

In this article, we’ll unveil a simple yet effective recipe, leveraging the natural benefits of these ingredients to create a serum that not only combats excess oil but also nurtures and revitalizes your skin. Join us on this enlightening journey to unlock the potential of the Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Power Blend.

Ingredients Needed

  • Sweet almond oil or coconut oil
  • Aloe vera gel
  • Tea tree essential oil

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

Tools Needed

  • Bowl
  • Tablespoon
  • Teaspoon
  • Small whisk
  • A serum glass bottle to store your DIY Natural Serum for Oily Skin

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Spoon Measurement Terms

In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:

  • One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
  • Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
  • Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.

1- Start by putting one tablespoon of sweet almond oil or coconut oil in a bowl. In the image below, I used coconut oil; the weather was warm and the coconut oil was liquid (in cold temperatures, it solidifies).

2- Add 4 drops only of tea tree essential oil.
